PRECISION THREADED FASTENING EFFICIENCY

Engineered for the high-volume mechanical and electrical contractor, the Milwaukee 2872-20 M18 Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter delivers a revolutionary solution for overhead installations and bench-top fabrication. By eliminating the sparks, chips, and noise associated with abrasive saws or band saws, this tool provides a safer, cleaner workflow while producing clean, burr-free cuts that allow nuts to be threaded by hand immediately. Its centered grip and horizontal design provide the stability required for precision one-handed overhead work, significantly reducing fatigue during massive conduit or pipe hanging projects.

• / BURR-FREE CUTTING: Specialized blade geometry produces clean cuts that are immediately ready for threading without secondary filing.
• / FOUR-SIDED CUTTING DIES: Versatile die system allows for cutting 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" mild steel as well as 1/4" and 3/8" stainless steel.
• / OPTIMIZED ERGONOMICS: Centered grip provides superior balance for overhead trimming and a flat base for stable benchtop operation.
• / AUTO-JAW OPENING: Features an automatic reset after each cut to maximize speed during repetitive fastening applications.
• / M18 BRUSHLESS MOTOR: Delivers over 400 cuts per charge when paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM 2.0Ah battery pack.
